Patients with state health insurance were originally expected to receive their electronic health cards at the start of the year. Despite the delays, however, there is hope. Those wishing to get an impression of the card's capabilities will find what they're looking for in the IT sections of the MEDICA 2006, the world's largest medical trade fair, where the electronic health card once again promises to be a major topic of discussion. 
With over 1,800 participants from 63 countries and 55 exhibitors, the World of Health IT conference and exhibition was the biggest eHealth event to-date in Europe. European Commission together with seven EU organisations active in eHealth, WHO and HIMSS have been the organisers.
